Intravesical Immunotherapy

Intravesical therapy is usually an option for people with noninvasive (stage 0) or minimally invasive (stage I) bladder cancer. With intravesical therapy for bladder cancer, drugs are put directly into the bladder through a catheter, instead of being injected into a vein or swallowed. Both immunotherapy and chemotherapy drugs can be given this way.The most commonly used agents are BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) and Mitomycin C. It is theorised that BCG stimulates an inflammatory response that promotes malignant cell kill by immunocompetent cells. Mitomycin C, on the other hand, inhibits the synthesis of DNA.
